  • The numbers are like this:

    JC Opened in 55 territories for 70m

    HG opened in 67 territories of 59.3m

    That’s the “apples to apples” foreign comparison.

    Of course the apples to apples US comparison is … 155m for HG and 30.6m for JC on opening weekend.

    Still, the international strength of JC is interesting. Too bad Disney couldn’t figure out the US any better. It was there for the taking.

  • Re: the Hollywood Reporter article, they give these numbers:

    “The Hunger Games opened less spectacularly on the foreign theatrical circuit, grossing $59.3 at some 7,700 locations in 67 offshore markets.

    “Overseas action assured Lionsgate’s action/sci-fi vehicle the weekend’s No. 1 box office ranking, but Games’ foreign opening is 2012’s second biggest – nearly $10 million less than the March 11 debut weekend gross of Disney’s John Carter at 51 locations..”

    Can you verify these numbers. They are saying “Hunger Games” (at 7700 locations) opened 10 million less than “John Carter” (at 51 locations). Can this be right? Do they perhaps mean 5100 locations? (Later in the article they say Jennifer Lawrence plays a six year old, so I suspect a typo!)
